Question, basic: How to follow moving instances (topics)? And what happens to "old" instances?
(lemmy.ml)
Hello, dear "Lemmings" (correct address?)
As a quite new user to the Lemmy universe and the Fediverse concept, I have a basic question, which I could not get answered elsewhere: If an instance (= a community / topic group, e. g. "memes","World news" or "MapPorn" in the example picture) is moving from one server to another (= the name and/or ending changes), how to properly follow the move? And what happens to the "old" instances, that are discontinued? Should I keep them following?
Best regards
I have brought this up before with my instance admins, that there were communities in the search results whose hosting instances were no longer up. They told me that there was no good way to do anything about this, the only thing they could do is defederate from those instances but that would delete old threads.
